Has anyone actually reduced their use of cellphones even after the WHO study?

I find it hard to use headphones and such, even after WHO has conducted research on cellphones triggering cancerous radiations.
Has anyone taken this seriously yet?

no it will not reduce cell phone usage because no one cares enough to let it. American's in general all pretty much have an "in the moment" perspective on life. and, to tell you the truth, cell phones are pretty much the foundation for society today. In essence, if your not using cell phones, your not connected to society, so therefore you cannot prosper. ive yet to meet anyone in my life who has taken that study to heart

Yeah, I know guys.
The study was actually going on for about TEN years!
Who will give a damn about it anyway?
Maybe after ten actual years of cellphone usage, yes :)
Either way, I wouldn't want to have a 'glioma' in my brain.
So I'm gonna try to use headphones whenever I can.
Good Luck to you and thanks for responding!

well, nowadays everything trigger cancers...like recently in Taiwan the chemicals in the food and drinks can cause cancer. Some of the medicines and intake supplements, which suppose to be good for our body, are also affected by the incidents. But what can we do? It seems to be inevitable. Just do what we usually do is ok...

Yeah man, I mean food and all that has already been studied and all.
This study took almost ten years whereas testing food and chemicals in it doesn't take up a lot of time. And you can always switch your diet with something better. Which leads to another discussion :)
Well, I don't know.
Try to be safe anyway :)

The WHO report clearly illustrates the harmful effects of the use of cell phone. The main reason of cellphones triggering cancerous radiations is the near field radiation of the cell phone antenna.
every antenna radiates the electromagnetic rays in two regions i.e. the near field (which is near the tip of the antenna ) and second is the far field radiation which is at a distance musch larger than the size of the antenna.
The near field radiation is a major cause of cancer and also it heats up our brain cells.
the best way is to use landline phones instead of cellular phones to counter the radiation attacks of cell phones
